Movie Preview: Kevin Spacey in Shrink

The story in Shrink seems not unlike that of another movie that I recently previewed, The Answer Man: The guy who's supposed to have all the answers (in this case a famous shrink) is in fact, just as screwed up as the rest of us. Shrink, however, seems to have a few more layers and a little more weight. In fact, I found myself totally absorbed in this story — just by watching the trailer.

The synopsis is as follows: "Unable to cope with a recent personal tragedy, LA's top celebrity shrink turns into a pothead with no concern for his appearance and a creeping sense of his inability to help his patients." No release date yet, though the trailer says Shrink will open this Summer. To check it out,

Totally predictable m'eh movie at Sundance, with a completely unecessary cameo by Robin Williams. Although the main young guy (forgot his name) and Keke should be acknowledged for standout performances.
